Kevin, (aka airrage) a lot of us know exactly who you are, and more importantly which questions you are not answering.
1. I note no reply to the entirely reasonable and logical argument put forward by Rhythm Method.
2. You don't actually comment on the points put forward by Tinytim, all you do is tell him how wrong he is.
3. You KNOW what he says about scope is correct, accurate and current, but you are too arrogant (or maybe honest) to even deny it. You just continue to bluster.
Finally, do you really believe that BA pilots in general will try industrial action over scope. (I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself!) Come on, BALPA aren't even sure they can get you all out over salaries!!!!!! You know, and we know, that if you don't at least throw us a few scraps (by your standards), then management will just call your bluff - like they did last time. I have to say, astonishingly, I find myself almost in sympathy with BA management; it must be a grim business negotiating with blockheads like you and Han Solo. As to OUR BALPA membership, I believe the figure to be currently around 75%, though it could be higher. Most of us don't post on either our Company forum, or the BALPA one, because we quite like the concept of anonymity - not like you eh, KJ ??
As TT also said, unfortunately for you, most of us here in BACEX feel the same way, and your puerile rambling utterings do nothing but antagonise more of us daily.
Personally, (fortunately) I've never had the bad luck to meet a BA pilot with your outlook, whereas I know most of our blokes DO think like me, TT, and the other BACEX guys who have posted on here. If in any doubt - just check the straw poll at the top of this thread!
Finally, DO try and follow some sort of grammatical logic.
I am perfectly prepared to accept that what is good for BA pilots is good for me - but ONLY if I am to be offered the same Ts and Cs. Oddly, you have not addressed this point at all, though it has featured several times. You or Solo mentioned the amount of BA guys who want to come and fly our RJs - now you say this is only 0.1%, which by my maths correlates to 3.2, or possibly 3.3 pilots in total. This will equate to roughly one quarter of an aircraft crewing roster (given 5 crews per aircraft), so I suppose you can fly one of our RJs on Wednesday morning. You and I both know that there are around fifty BAR guys alone, not to mention the ex- CFE blokes.
You are obviously some kind of BACC hothead Mr J, but we have all listened to posturing from management in general, and BA in particular so we are well able to detect the rich odour of bull**** !!!
And hear hear for faq. Yes, memories are long, (not that they need to be) and we have a number of ex-Dan guys with us (and bloody good they are too!). You in BACC have a form sheet as long as my elbow - sorry, we flatly do NOT believe you have ANY, never mind our best interests at heart. In fact, heaven help me, for my current medium to long term future, I definitely prefer BA management. At least they need me to fly their aeroplanes, ALL their (regional) aeroplanes - whereas your intention is obvious !
